The Junior Tennis Fund Sacramento supports Public Youth Tennis in Sacramento, Eldorado, Placer, and Yolo Counties and parts of San Joaquin County. We are a growing community of people from all walks of life, each paying a minimum annual membership of $200 and awarding member-selected annual grants. JTFS’s philanthropic model allows members to leverage and pool their charitable donations to achieve
maximum immediate impact and a long-term Public Tennis endowment for the Greater Sacramento community. How does JTFS select which programs to fund? Each member receives one vote on which grants to fund. The member-selected grants are announced in May and awarded each June at our annual Grants Award Gala. What portion of the membership donation goes to the actual grants? Financially prudent management of funds is a strong tenet of our organization. After allotting only 1.5% to operating expenses, we commit 98.5% of our funding to grants and the Junior Tennis Fund Sacramento endowment fund. What is the JTFS endowment fund? Money in our endowment fund is invested to build a reserve and create long term financial stability. Only the interest or dividends earned from the endowment fund can be spent on grants. How much time will my membership in JTFS involve? Members choose their level of involvement:
Do a little: Vote on which grants to fund. Do a little more: Attend our events. Do even more: Join a committee or volunteer. Is it possible to sponsor other memberships? JTFS encourages its members to sponsor their children, grandchildren, other family members, friends, employees, and peers. One of our goals is to develop new generations of philanthropists.
